22 Chester Avenue, Tunbridge Wells, TN2 4TZ
About 22 Chester Avenue
22 Chester Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Tunbridge Wells (TN2 4TZ). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a corner plot.
Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £484,000 sits 93.6% above the 2009 sale of £250,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£337/sq ft) was about 16.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs).
